MAN OF THE WEEK - MOUSSA DEMBELE
Missing a penalty in the Nou Camp could demoralise some players but the Celtic striker responded in magnificent fashion against Manchester City.
He was up against the best team in Britain yet was a constant threat and his second goal — a deft, hooked volley — showed what a fine young talent Dembele is; he could have gone into his shell with the memory of what happened in Barcelona but he blossomed.
Brendan Rodgers has unearthed a gem. He only cost £500,000 from Fulham and with Rodgers’ background in developing young players, there is no question Dembele is in the right place to prosper. He only had to see Raheem Sterling at Parkhead to see how Rodgers handles young talent.
Already the 20-year-old looks like an absolute bargain and, if he keeps scoring at the rate he has been, Celtic are going to struggle to keep him but potential suitors will have to be wary: if Celtic do eventually sell him, then it is going to be for a fee 20 or 30 times more than their initial outlay. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3816295/It-s-bad-West-Ham-better-don-t-sack-Slaven-Bilic.htmlNever mind 20 or 30 times the initial outlay. 40 times just gets you to the table to start negotiating Nice to see people outside of Scotland taking notice of what we're upto again. Last time we had this much global attention for a perfomance on the pitch was nearly 4 years ago. Can only be a good thing in trying to persuade more guys who are in in Dembélé's shoes from last summer to consider us as a decent option. Nice words from Carragher, but he can forget 20 to 30 and start it at 40 to 60. People try to use the 'you only play in Scotland' excuse for under paying for our players, but the fact is anyone scouting him is not scouting him because he plays in Scotland. They are doing so because of his obvious talent and potential.
We want to hold on to this lad as long as we can, but if Madrid are interested then clubs can forget about taking him off us for a pittance...especially English teams who happily fork out 15 million on average players.

He was immense on Wed night and invaluable when defending corners. Madrid can eff off. I noticed that as well. He's our best defender at corners

Aye they boy is a genuine talent and a threat to big teams at 20. He has the attributes to be better than Wanyama and the market has became even more inflated since then. 20 mill + before I would consider entertaining a bid for him.

Poor Fulham. Apparently Johansen in his two games for them has been gash.
Let's start the bidding at 30 million.

It might've been a excuse 5 or 6 years ago, but the likes of Van Dijk, Forster and Wanyama (even Davis and Naismith from deidco) have proven that there is quality in the SPFL and talent can flourish.

Sounds like half the fans are in a hurry to sell him. If he's on a 4 year contract, he'll be here for 2 years at least so let's just enjoy his goals while he's here and stop quoting the price that we're going to sell him for

I noticed that as well. He's our best defender at corners Not blowing my own trumpet ala Rugbybhoy style but I pointed out how invaluable Moussa was at defending corners after the away game v Astana. A poster at the time mentioned that we should stick him at center half

Their center half did an excellent job on him today although Moussa did well at times. Should have buried his header.

He's not to blame given the way Dundee lined up and how we played but has he scored away from home yet?

Did well in his part of the goal. Struggled to make an impact against a team camped in and around their own box.

Possibly his worst game but didn't hide which is all you ask when it's one of those days he had at least two good efforts at goal, held play up well most of the time, and was a constant nuisance. You can't really ask much more of a striker. Oh, and he must be feckin' knackered.

He won balls in our own box and in midfield, not his best day in front of goal, but still caught the eye.
